Summary

For the 7th time, Bonhams organized a small but excellent auction on the occasion of the Zoute Grand Prix and Concours d'Elégance. 41 cars, a motorcycle and several children's cars went under the hammer on October 11, 2019 in Knokke-Heist (Belgium). In total, the vehicles were valued at around EUR 18 million and were on average 53 years old. Although some of the more expensive cars, such as the O.M. 665 Superba or the 250 GT Cabriolet S2, did not find a new owner, 74% of the vehicles were sold. A Ferrari 275 GTB came into new hands for EUR 2.9 million, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster for EUR 1.04 million. There were no real bargains, but a Mini Moke, for example, could be bought for EUR 20,700. This auction report analyzes the results and shows all the cars in pictures.
